Biking and walking combined make up 12 percent of all trips but the two modes together received only 2 percent of all federal transportation spending in 2009, even with ARRA stimulus dollars included. Note: The coding of federal spending in the data records is a mess, such that you cannot isolate bike-only spending.

How much do we get now? It would be great if our national advocacy orgs could provide answers to this question, to help us make this argument.
